I'm sorry. You were going to ask me to choose, right? Did you want to finish?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't like those suggestions, tommy, not because I think they're wrong (cursorily I don't disagree with much in the "take a punch" one, but have a few issues with the street fight article) but because reading written suggestions is pretty much useless. Especially any the length of the street fight one.
You need practice to take a punch or win a fight--might as well sign up for one class or another, or just start picking fights. The learning curve is probably more painful in the latter scenario.

In college I had a suitemate named Cindy Lu. I called her Cindy Lu Hoo all the time.

Yeah, I was thinking, "How could anyone remember all this without practicing?"

Poor Stephen Colbert -- on last night's show, he made a "To Serve Man" joke, and nobody in the audience got it.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Didn't all of her sisters cut off their hair so that she could spend that one day with him?
They cut off their hair to give her a dagger which could kill the prince and release her from the spell. But she wouldn't take it.
Hey, it wasn't Rapunzel, but it was the sort of fairy tale that stuck in my mind.
